He could have solved the problem differently. First, he could have just
closed the viewer on the production server screen. Then he could have closed
connection instead of closing down VNC server.

Given that both viewer and server are two separate programmes, I don't think
they communicate in the way you think they are. Sure, in programming, almost
everything is possible. It's just a matter of time and effort, but does it deserve
this time and effort?
